Question

The repayment of a loan after 6 years at rate of 24% Simple Interest is Rs.73200. What is the amount borrowed?

A.

Rs.42000

B.

Rs.30800

C.

Rs.45000

D.

Rs.30000

Correct option is D

Given:
Total repayment (Principal + Interest) = Rs. 73,200
Time = 6 years
Rate of Interest = 24% per annum
Formula Used:
Simple Interest (SI) is given by:
SI=P×R×T100SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}​​
Total repayment (A) is:
A = P + SI
Solution:
Substitute these values into the formula:
73,200=P(1+24×6100)73,200 = P \left( 1 + \frac{24 \times 6}{100} \right)​​
73,200=P(1+144100)73,200 = P \left( 1 + \frac{144}{100} \right)​​
73,200=P×2.4473,200 = P \times 2.44​​
P=73,2002.44=30,000P = \frac{73,200}{2.44} = 30,000​​
Thus, the amount borrowed is Rs. 30,000.
